Everything happens for a reason, except possibly football. (in Thief of Time)  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Demons were like genies or philosophy professors - if you didn’t word things exactly right, they delighted in giving you absolutely accurate and completely misleading answers.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) There was, for example, the theory that A’Tuin had come from nowhere and would continue at a uniform crawl, or steady gait, into nowhere, for all time. This theory was popular among academics.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I read anything that’s going to be interesting. But you don’t know what it is until you’ve read it. Somewhere in a book on the history of false teeth there’ll be the making of a novel.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) It’s an interesting fact that fewer than 17 % of Real cats end their lives with the same name they started with. Much family effort goes into selecting one at the start (She looks like a Winnifred to me), and the as the years roll by it suddenly finds itself being called Meepo or Ratbag.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different ways - is one of the skills that makes us human.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I just think the world ought to be more sort of organized.’’That’s just fantasy,’ said Twoflower.’I know. That’s the trouble.’ Rincewind sighed again.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) People don’t like change. But make the change fast enough and you go from one type of normal to another.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) There is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Too much magic could wrap time and space around itself, and that wasn’t good news for the kind of person who had grown used to things like effects following things like causes.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? It was only a big circle of light. And the dark of the moon was only darkness. But halfway between the two, when the moon was between the worlds of light and dark, when even the moon lived on the edge...maybe then a witch could believe in the moon.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I grow as many of our vegetables as I can, because my granddad was a professional gardener, and it’s in the blood.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) What we’re going to do is keep the peace. That’s our job. We’re not going to be heroes, we’re just going to be ... normal.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Insofar as he’d formed any opinion of her, it was that she suffered from misplaced gentility and the mistaken belief that etiquette meant good breeding. She mistook mannerisms for manners.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I mistrust the term graphic novel because it sounds like a good thing to put on a tee-shirt. That’s why the French like them.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way. It’s good for the hygiene of the brain.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) What is magic? There is the wizard’s explanation... wizards talk about candles, circles, planets, stars, bananas, chants, runes and the importance of having at least four good meals every day.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Nanny’s philosophy of life was to do what seemed like a good idea at the time, and do it as hard as possible. It had never let her down.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) People don’t like to say comic so they say Graphic Novel, despite the fact that I don’t think the true Graphic Novel has been written anywhere.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) My character - and for that matter my worst habits - could only be described by someone else. You can’t open a box with the crowbar inside it.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) You have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that’s going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) What I’ve always said was, hang in there, let me write what I want to write, and you’ll probably like it.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Never build a dungeon you wouldn’t be happy to spend the night in yourself. The world would be a happier place if more people remembered that.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) A good banana daiquiri is hard to come by. I’ve only ever found one place in this country that makes a proper one, and that’s in Leeds.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I didn’t go to university. Didn’t even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Vampires have risen from the dead, the grave, and the crypt, but have never managed it from the cat.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I have to write because if I don’t get something down then after a while I feel it’s going to bang the side of my head off.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) So let’s not get frightened when the children read fantasy. It’s the compost for a healthy mind. It stimulate s the inquisitive nodes, and there is some evidence that a rich internal fantasy life is as good and necessary for a child as healthy soil is for a plant, for much the same reasons.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) The labyrinth of Ephebe is ancient and full of one hundred and one amazing things you can do with hidden springs, razor-sharp knives, and falling rocks.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
